religious people know well enough that this is all transient.. and the pursuit of material wealth for the sake of material wealth is futile as all will return to dust
Too busy making money, like me.
Like I said before.
There is no stupid questions.
Only stupid people.

This is only half-truth.Pursuit of material wealth is okay only when there is no one starving and in poverty.
the rich believe in themselves.
the poor are more prone to religion.

Why do you think the two cannot mix?
Buy Colgate consumable products and you help benefit the poor.
monetarism is the religion of the rich

There are many more super rich ppl who are religious. Look at the tycoons in Thailand and how much they contribute to build temples and support the Buddhism.
The mafias, oops I mean the rich businessmen in Catholic countries are the major contributors and fervent believer in Christ.
religious mah the rich, they all worship the God of Fortune what ?!
they give a lot of tithes to churches becoz the pastors say they'll get 10 x back what so they worship Jesus............the Son of God of Fortune !
the HOLY TRINITY is actually the Chinese FU LU SHOU lah.................
Material richness is one thing, spiritual wealth is another thing.
Buddhism is among the religions or belief systems that have such a way of thinking as well.
